This is a 1822 New Haven edition in nice 6 inch leather binding with gold stamping on the spine, 216 pages, previous owner's name and an 1824 date on the front flyleaf. Please note that the text is very foxed, but still legible. As a retired physicist, I really like it. But all that is known about electricity is the static type and galvanic action. But you are shown a battery made by connecting a matrix of Leyden jars together.

Store description
The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot. The motto on the front door: NO SHOOTING, NO SMOKING, NO MOONING THE MANAGEMENT. …
